I've been seeing my therapist for a while, and thought I trusted and understood him.
Today, he told me that he sometimes works with Narconon, and that he believes that they have gotten an undeserved reputation from the media.... that their methods really are effective, and that they don't appear to have ties to Scientology. At least he said that he didn't know anyone in our local Narconon who was a Scientologist.
If I am to take his comments at face value, then I feel I should fire him... I looked into Narconon, and what I found wasn't good.
Narconon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia My therapist suggested that he thought taking medicine and using saunas was successful at treating drug addictions....
I like to think he was making some kind of point, but if he was, he totally manipulated me into believing he believes Narconon is a good program. I'm even embarrassed that I let his opinions influence me.... (even while I was talking to him, I thought to myself, this sounds weird.... )
Anyway, I'm frustrated and confused.... I thrive on honestly and openness, and this really bothers me.
